These handmade earthenware pieces connect you to the natural world of clay as each piece is uniquely shaped and formed on the wheel creating a warmth and beauty.

PINE COVE POTTERY WAS CREATED……

  • Out of the pilgrimage of the stories of my life. The journey’s I’ve been on and how I’ve been shaped.

  • It’s about the people that came along side of me to nourish the parts of me that were deeply fractured. These people weaved in and out of my life as they lifted me up when I was struggling. They wouldn’t seek me out but rather they were put into place at times when I needed them the most and somehow through these stories, they nourished each part of my life.

  • These pottery pieces express the process and the beauty of how each story was written and how a faith in Christ helped me to get back up again.

  • Pottery is about being transformed.

A place where I create and document

  • I looked at the landscape nearby that He created as I was in deep thought considering what life’s journeys had thrown my way throughout the years of my life. It was to the left of the trail that a deep red color had been exposed and as I bent down, I picked up some of the soil that had been offered to me from the ground and began to play and mold what I had found. Realizing the consistency that of the clay.

    So much of my life had resembled the piece I now held in my hands. I the potter had found a treasure. A story between the Potter and the clay had begun……

  • And just like that, earth and all that was in it was created in 6 days. Within those 6 days He created beauty, shape and form. On day 6 He created mankind. He created him in the image of God. Man was made to create.

    Genesis 1-2

    This was a real moment for me when I considered that there was a Maker, a Creator.

  • As I picked the clay up. I began to ponder what is the clays worth? What does the clay have to offer me? How do I create something of value? What elements are there that anchor me to my pottery?

    So my studio began just as it had started not just in the clay but who the Potter was as well. The natural world began to open up and God had more for me to see.

    There would be a connection and a bridge that would lead me to new possibilities as I gleaned between this world and who God was. The gospel of Jesus Christ began to make since in the most beautiful way.
